I think this is a Gulf Fritillary but not sure. Help in identification is appreciated.

Definitely not a Gulf fritillary; more likely a great spangled fritillary, Speyeria cybele - see http://tinyurl.com/2avnldw

Great! I really meant to type 'Great Spangled' and was looking at pictures of the Gulf Frit at the time. That's what I get for being in a hurry. Thanks for the ID. I had a pair of them flying around all weekend and was happy to get the shot. Haven't seen any Gulfs around yet this year.
